A generously budgeted show jointly produced by HBO and the BBC, ROME takes viewers back to 52 BC for a chance to relive the reign of Julius Caesar. The first season revolves around...
more...the lives of two Roman soldiers, Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson), who win favour with Caesar (Ciaran Hinds) by defeating a mutinous plot from the devious Pompey Magnus (Kenneth Cranham). This affords the two men a gateway into the lives of Rome's ruling classes, and so the season unfolds, with intricately woven plots, fine acting, and stunning recreations of the ancient city, to provide a thoroughly engrossing television show. Details have been painstakingly pored over to ensure accuracy, so both history buffs and viewers less versed in the ways of Caesar should find something to enjoy here. This release contains the entire first season of the show.

Full review
Its full of sex, violence, drugs, corruption and blood, what more can you want. This series is fantasitic but its only a mini mini mini series stops after season 2 because of HBO not making a decent profit. This is such a mistake of HBO to make as it is so addictive.

ANYWAYS, to the point, Rome is amazing: the acting, the setting and great historial facts about Rome and Gaius Julius Caeser. It starts of with two characters Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pollo both serving in the Roman legion, having finished the war against the Gauls, Mark Antony gives Vorenus the order to find the stolen "Eagle Standard" hence the journey of Pollo and Vorenus begins .

It depicts the reality of what went on in Roman times, murder, rape, stealing and slavery, and the rise and fall of Caeser. All events are based on what historians believe is correct. It is worth watching the first episode, after that your gonna be wanting more, the whole family enjoyed it.
